The Problem

Securing User Access to VPCs

An important security measure for your VPCs (and VNETs) is to effectively control remote user access to your VPC(s). With cloud adoption on the rise, the cloud makes most users “remote.” Not only for employees who are out of the office, the “remote” label can be applied to developers, contractors, and partners whether they’re in the office or around the globe. Reducing latency of that access will improve productivity of these users.

While a bastion host using an SSH tunnel is an easy way to encrypt network traffic and provide direct access, most companies looking for more robust networking will want to invest in a VPN solution. Single instance VPN servers in each VPC results in tedious certificate management and questions arise like “who can access what VPC?” If you have more than 15 users and more than a few VPCs, management and auditing of the user access can become a major challenge. What’s needed is an easily managed, secure, cost-effective solution.
